I agree. I enjoyed the marker layouts and pencil sketches far more than the actual illustration. I love the feel of layout paper and tissue. " I love the smell of magic marker in the morning". My fine arts instructor always said to be spontaneous before anything.

Just a guy!

Painting and creating art has always been a huge part of my life. From a young child with pads of typing paper to the present ... an older experienced dude with pads of watercolor paper. My entire work life was as a commercial artist at all levels of the pecking order.
I was born and partially raised on a farm and a small town.
Midwest roots except the winters seem to be colder these days. I'm a family guy with kids and grandkids.
Unfortunately I can be quite the procrastinator. Retirement does have it's drawbacks, but I can live with that one.
Thanks for stopping by and showing interest in my blog.
